way to describe him is to call him a personality w ith a “ com m unity s p irit.”
" I wanted to try and help revise the community culturally. One person can’t
do it. So I fit, so that everytime someone points to me to do something, I
make sure it spreads o u t,” said Thara. This sentiment was reflected in his
work with the Portland Black Repertory Theatre.
Thara has paid his dues in the Northeast and remains extremely indepen
dent. He has popped up here and there, backstage as well as front stage as a
talented horn blower o f first rate. He has seen the inside o f the recording
business via o f his studio work, and knows they w ill do anything to bring
about “ number one with a bullet." This doggie-dog business turns Thara o ff
which is why he centered his talents in the Northwest. "T he record industry
would have died had it not been for Afro-Am erican music. Disco went up
and reached its peak. Now you can’ t get a major record company to record a
disco disc even if you fronted the money. Now ask them about a new James
Brown or Marvin Gaye, and their response will be when do we start? You see,
its the little blocks o f sales that keep the record companies going," he con
tinued. He sees most big stars in music as having no control over their
product. “ If 1 even got hold of any o f that 1 would send half thé props back,
half the lights, and half the people who run it, and ask for my money back.
These things are big business and I think maybe it’ s even bigger than the con
cert itself.”
Using his experience to retain his perpective, Thara summed it up. " I ’ m
talking about having your own. If it’ s just ten dollars - so what? It’s yours!
I'm not going to look any different on stage making ten dollars or ten
thousands. And making ten grand, the sad thing would be, to take home only
$100 o f that. Big business w ill only do two things for you; put you out of
business or let you support their business.”
Thara’ s analysis o f certain procedures by some big name record company
is essentially correct. We in the Northwest should be proud that this new
breed o f artist picked our home as his base. On May 2nd, let’s show our ap
preciation.

Educator recommends basics
An expert on the educationally
disadvantaged and m in o rity stu
dents to ld P ortland C om m unity
College teachers last week “ to move
backfto basic education.”
"In c re a s in g ly the students are
saying give me what I need and what
1 need is to learn how to read better
and how to learn how to write bet
ter,” Dr. W illiam Moore, Jr., pro
fessor o f educational administration
at O hio State U niversity, told the
gathering o f PCC faculty and ad
m inistrators at one-day PCC con
ference on the educationally disad
vantaged student.
Moore was in adminstration and
education at Seattle Central Com
m unity College before moving to
Ohio.
"L is te n to what students are
saying and what they are saying is
do not let me do my own th in g ,”
Moore said. "T h e me-ism is dead.
Doing your own thing was good for
the ego but poor for the mind. Sit in
the bars and talk to them. Sit in the
barrios and talk to them. What
you’ ll find is that doing your own
thing isn’ t what they want. They
want to learn how to read. They
want to be able to write. They want
to be able to figure.”
M oore said that students need
structure in the community college
classroom with teachers who clearly
let students'know what is expected
o f them from the first day o f class to
the end of the term.
" I ’ m against all o f these op
tio n s ,” M oore said, "W h a t he
needs to do is learn to read because
he can’ t read, to learn to w rite
because he can’ t write and learn to
figure because he can’ t figure.
T h a t’ s an old fashioned idea. But
that’s exactely what I mean.”
Moore said teachers should not be
overly sympathetic to student com
plaints o f relevancy of a course.
“ Don’ t let those students tell you
w hat’ s relevant and w hat’ s not

Dr. William Moore. Jr., told Portland Community College teachers
that it is time to go back to basics when teaching the educationally
disadvantaged. Moore is a professor of educational administration at
Ohio State University.
relevant,” Moore said. “ That's fine
in sociology and philosophy, but
that’ s not fine in mathematics.”
Moore said students still respect
fa cu lty. "T h e y s till view you in
higher esteem than you think they
do.”
Moore suggested these changes in
approach to educating the disadvan
taged student:
• Less time spent in adverse inter
action between fa cu lty and ad
m inistrators. Realize both faculty
and adm inistrators are after the
same things.
• Better marketing o f what we are
doing in education.
• Innovations that are concrete.
The most innovative thing an
English teacher can do is teach
students what a verb is.
• More counseling by the faculty,
and less by counselors who are
removed from the classroom
situations.
• O ffer a product which is as
good as our claims.
• Give more time to students.
Moore said in a question and an
swer session following his talk that
he is not talking about becoming
unreasonably
tough in the
classroom.
"Be tough with the youngsters,
but be tough with love,” Moore
said. " It*s like being tough with
your own children. You are tough
because you love them.”
